The standard, Draw Resistance Control Airflow Tube for the Revolve.
This airflow tube is already included with the Revolve stem.
Compatible with the Gen 1 Cooling Unit, but must be used with the Gen 2 Mouthpiece.
This piece (come as the stock configuration) is what makes possible two things:
first, the air-path works now the opposite way of a DynaV stem air-path, second, you can adjust the draw air pressure.
The V2 DRC tube has two airflow slots, one large for RDL and a new one, small for MTL.
Like the V1, the Secondary DRC Indicator near the end of the tube help to adjust the draw with the Mouthpiece on and your fingernail or the digger of a cap.
However, on the V2, there is a small arrow engraving on the side of the DRC tube, combined with the new lines of the V2 Cooling unit, it makes the adjustment for MTL draw much easier.
Compatibility V1-V2 parts:
-V2 Cooling unit only accept V2 MP with V2 airflow tube
-V1 Cooling unit can accept V2 MP with V2 airflow tube
-the version of MP and airflow tube has to be paired together, V1+V1 V2+V2
-secondary cooling unit need a V2 airflow tube, so a V2 MP too
-V2 reclaim screen filter can clip and stay in place only into the V2 Cooling unit
-sleeve fit both versions
I'm not a fan of the secondary cooling unit with the DRC air-path, it's too much cooling, I don't need it and the flavor start to suffer.
However, I'm a big fan of the secondary cooling unit with the Direct air-path. I feel a similar flavor/vapor temp experience as a SC Vort.x with a high flow interc..ler.
for Revolve V1 owners:
You have to buy the V2 MouthPiece if you want to use any V2 airflow tube and V2 secondary cooling unit.
I recommend it for your Revolve V1 if:
you want to keep your V1 and buy a Revolve V2.
you can't afford a V2, you always set your DRC to MTL and you like a tight draw, get a V2 MP and the V2 DRC airflow tube.
you can't afford a V2, you want the maximum cooling possible with the combo V2 MP, DRC tube and secondary cooling unit.
IMO it works, yes, but it's not for me, the flavor is too much muted.
you want to keep your V1, you like the Direct airflow tube and want to try the V2 secondary cooling unit upgrade. That's what I have done for my V1.
V2 MP + V2 DirectTube + V2 SCU with a wood sleeve (but I also have a Revolve V2 for DRC use).
you can't stand anymore the O-ring often sliding with the MP and miserably falling, when you pull the V1 MouthPiece in spinning mode.
Other than these use cases, I don't think it's worth to upgrade your V1, you are cover with the V1 as it is, or , simply grab the V2 to get all the features.
